What about surgical treatment?
Patients with transposition of the great arteries require surgery early in life to survive. Many infants undergo a procedure in the catheterization laboratory to "buy time" and delay the surgery until they can handle it better. The procedure enlarges a naturally occurring connection between the right and left upper chambers (the atria). This lets the blood mix so some oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood can be pumped to the correct side.Two major types of surgery can correct the transposition. The first creates a tunnel (a baffle) between the atria. This redirects the oxygen-rich blood to the right ventricle and aorta and the oxygen-poor blood to the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery. This operation is called an atrial or venous switch. It's also called the Mustard procedure or the Senning procedure.
The second type is called the arterial switch operation. The aorta and pulmonary artery are switched back to their normal positions. The aorta is connected to the left ventricle, and the pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle. The coronary arteries, which carry the oxygen-rich blood that nourishes the heart muscle, also need to be re-attached to the new aorta.
What type of problems might my child have?
Heart function problems
Patients who've had an atrial switch (e.g., Mustard or Senning operation) may have a serious decline in heart muscle or heart valve function. This is because the right ventricle is pumping blood to the entire body instead of just the lungs. Medications to help the heart pump better, control fluid accumulation (diuretics) and control blood pressure may help. Patients who've had the arterial switch operation don't seem to have as great a risk of heart muscle decline. They may have valve leakage or coronary artery problems, however.
Heart rhythm problems (Arrhythmias)
People with repaired transposition, especially those who've had the Mustard or Senning operation, are at risk of developing heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias). These arrhythmias often arise in the heart's upper chambers. Your child's heart rate may be too slow or too fast. If the heart rate is too slow, an artificial pacemaker can speed it up. If your child's heart rate is too fast, medication can slow it down. At times, your child may need a cardiac catheterization to study and treat these rhythm disturbances.
Will my child need more surgery?
Some patients need more surgery to help their heart pump better, repair abnormal valves or control heart rhythm disturbances. Patients who've had the Mustard or Senning operation may need surgery to correct abnormalities of the tunnel in the atria, repair abnormal valves or control rhythm disturbances.
Patients who had the arterial switch operation may need more surgery to relieve narrowings in the aorta or pulmonary artery where the original surgery was done, or to fix leaky valves.
Will my child's activities be limited?
Most cardiologists recommend that patients limit their physical activities to their endurance. They don't recommend competitive sports for high school and college students. Your child's cardiologist will help determine the proper level of activity restriction.
What will my child need in the future?
Patients with transposition will require lifelong follow-up with a cardiologist trained to care for patients with congenital heart disease. Your child may need to take medications to improve how his or her heart works. The cardiologist will track your child with a variety of non-invasive tests. These include electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, exercise stress tests and echocardiograms.
What about preventing endocarditis?
Children who have transposition of the great arteries are at increased risk for endocarditis. Some children will need to take antibiotics before certain dental procedures. See the section on Endocarditis for more information.

Wiz Khalifa Tweets Pictures of Studio Sessions With Chris Brown + Adam Levine
Rapper Wiz Khalifa is keeping himself busy in 2012 as he's locked in the studio working hard on his new LP 'O.N.I.F.C.,' which will be his follow-up to his platinum-selling debut 'Rolling Papers.'
Wizzy has been giving his Tweeples on Instagram updates on the recording process. So far, the 'Black and Yellow' has recorded songs with Chris Brown and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.
In one photo, the Pittsburgh, Pa. rhymer is surrounded by a cloud of smoke while Breezy is chillin' behind the boards in a hoodie. In another picture, Levine is hanging out with Wiz while he's puffing on a blunt. "Serious s— happening in the studio," tweeted 'The Voice' judge. We can only imagine how serious that aroma was in the studio when they were recording.
There is still no official word on when 'O.N.I.F.C.' will arrive in stores this year. In the meantime, you can hear Wiz rapping on his girlfriend's song 'Fame.' Although everyone wasn't sure about Amber Rose's crooning skills, she did manage to convince a few skeptics that she can hold a note. We wouldn't be surprised if there's going to be a Wiz and A-Rose collaboration on 'O.N.I.F.C.' Stay tuned!

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing.
"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes' attorney Jonathan Wolfe said in a statment. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
Cruise's representative said Holmes had filed for the divorce.
U.S. & World
"Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy," his rep said.
The Hollywood power couple -- dubbed TomKat by the tabloids -- married in November 2006 and has a daughter, Suri, 6. Cruise also has two children with his second wife, actress Nicole Kidman. The divorce was first reported by People.
It will be the third divorce for Cruise, 49, who has split with each of his wives when they were 33 years old, the "Today" show's entertainment blog points out. His first marriage to Mimi Rogers and second marriage to Kidman both ended when the women were 33 years old—Holmes' current age.
Cruise is among the highest paid actors in Hollywood, earning an estimated $75 million over the past year, according to Forbes. Making his name as a teen actor in movies such as "Risky Business" and "Taps," he is star of the "Mission: Impossible" series and countless other action movies. He most recently starred in "Rock of Ages," which opened earlier this month.
Holmes, 33, played the adorable Joey Potter on the late 1990s hit "Dawson's Creek," later co-starring in "Batman Begins." She also appeared on Broadway in 2009 in "All My Sons."
With a big gap in their ages, and an intensely private life, the couple and their marriage has long been a source of fascination in the media.
In 2005, Cruise famously appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and maniacally declared his love for Holmes. "I'm in love! I'm in love," Cruise yelled, according to a USA TODAY story. "I can't be cool. I can't be laid-back." At the time a People magazine poll said more than half its respondents believed the romance was not real.
No matter the state of the couple's marriage, their daughter Suri has become a media darling, inspiring a fictious blog told from her point of view and countless photos of her distinctly feminine outfits.

The scene: Pam is working fervently at her desk. Her headphones are on. Her focus is unwavering. She's in a groove, and her work is flowing smoothly.
Enter stage left: Michael Scott.
Pam sees him out of the corner of her eye. He fumbles. Turns. Stares at a wall. Turns again.
Pam's eye twitches. What is he doing?
He shuffles, turns and looks directly at Pam and says something.
Pam halts her work and takes off her headphones.
"What?" she asks.
"What did I come out here for?" Michael asks.
Pam jams her headphone back into her ears so hard she hurts herself and as snaps "I don't know!"
Her groove is ruined. She sits fuming at her desk for the next hour as she contemplates the moronic events that just took place.

Import Rowing workouts to Strava from the Concept2 log
For those of us who split their time between rowing running and cycling it would be great to have all this on strava.
For those of us who split their time between rowing running and cycling it would be great to have all this on strava.
Strava just announced a new sync with LiveRowing:
LiveRowing transforms the standard Concept2 indoor rowing machine workout into a fun and challenging workout. Just connect the LiveRowing app with any Concept2 rowing machine and sync your account to Strava to see all your rowing metrics on your Strava profile.
Let us know how this is working out!
There is also a 3rd party program rowsandall.com:
Rowsandall.com is an online tool for indoor and On The Water (OTW) rowers. It accepts workout data from a number of devices and applications. It analyzes the data to provide valuable insights about your training, and enables you to share data with many common online training tracking systems.
this would be great
I would like to see this feature added too. It would be great to have all the data from my cycling and indoor rowing in one place.
Yes please include support for work outs on concept2
Also need to go beyond the 9999 meter limit for recording a row.
Yes, this would be great as the concept2 log is fairly basic compared to the data and graphics of the strava site
Please consider supporting Concept2 Logbook (CVS) files.
Wow, I am overwhelmed I can't upload my Concept2 log files in Strava or a workout using any rowing software GPS measured or not. Strava users do you know of a good tool to use to log both cycling, running and rowing data??
Jonathan, and others...
The best way to get a rudimentary record of a Concept 2 workout, will depend upon the device you are using- and you'll need a device. My Garmin 910 will record some data from the concept 2, if I treat it as a run. The problem will be then that Strava doesn't have a proper conversion and I think most of the data will not be converted as it labels it an 'indoor' activity. You may be able to record your Concept 2 workouts as 'runs' and then just title them 'concept2'. Not a perfect solution, but you can at least keep up with them somewhat.
One would think this wouldn't be such a difficult fix for strava- I just keep posting, hoping that someone will read this and respond!
We can put a man on the moon...
Logical interface to build. The concept 2 community is not small - Strava, great chance to grab some more users and support the mad rowers out there
Yes please include upload support for Concept2 rowing
This would be a very helpful widget for those of us who divide our time between cycling and rowing. These feature would also further secure Strava's position in the market as the premier log for us amateur athletes.
Yes, please add this function.
Yes, this would be fine !
Current I record my indoor rows with ErgData to sync with the concept2 Logbook.
Additional with my Mac and a USB cable connected with the PM5 and the Chrome extension PainSled.
Then I import the TCX file. Looks like https://www.strava.com/activities/426297531
But it's not optimal. Automatically sync between ErgData and Strava would be great !
And statistics and training log not only for running and cycling !!
This would be awesome!
PM5 could be logged straight into Strava App via bluetooth?
Please add this functionality - I was surprised to find that Strava does not have this already!
Bump for a great idea.
Concept to Strava is definitely needed.
Is this still not available on Strava?
Yes please add this feature. The Concept 2 is a key cross-training option and I want to hold all my training data centrally in Strava,
supposedly pm4 and pm5 sync well with older garmin watches like fr70 or 910. ironically all the newer devices won't work anymore
I guess since we're going on two years since you made this request, there must be a partnership problem with concept2, or strava just doesn't care.
Agree. The user should be able to pick their top activities to see and have the data show up. I don't run (bad knees) but cycle (in/out), C2 Row and Xfit, hike, swim, etc and all Strava will show is Run/Bike/Swim....
Yes please!
Please support Concept2, there must be many others that want this feature; but haven't taken the time to request!
agreed. seconded. upvoted...
Yes please! Ideally log the rowing workout using Bluetooth connection from PM5 to the Strava app.
Another +1 for this idea. I run, cycle, swim and also have a Concept 2 ergo. It would be great to be able to see all my training in one place. I use Garmin products for the other three activities, and the sync from Connect to Strava works brilliantly. It would be great to have something similar for the C2 online log.

About the course
Southfields Academy Teaching School SCITT has many years of ITT experience, both as a provider in our own right and also in our successful partnerships with leading universities. We offer placements in Good/Outstanding schools and strong support to PGCE trainees and their subject mentors.
In 2017 Kingston University celebrated 100 years of 'educating the educators'. In 2018/19 the university launched this PE training programme at their new Centre for PE, Activity & Youth Sport.
See full course details and entry requirements at Kingston
Southfields has School Direct placements for PE trainees within our partnership. If the placement school is important to you, please contact the Teaching School on 020 8870 1797 for the latest position on our vacancies.
Interview process
The recruitment process will be carried out by the university and by the Teaching School in co-operation with its partner schools. It will be a two-stage process i.e. school-based interview and university-based interview. However, wherever possible we will aim to hold combined interview days.
You will spend a day or half-day at the potential placement school as part of the process.
We make a recommendation to Kingston or, in the case of a joint interview day, we reach a joint decision with the university.
How school placements work
You will have two school placements (AB model) and you will undertake teaching practice and other duties (e.g. pastoral role) at the schools. You follow the normal school timetable, with time allowed to also follow your university calendar.
The advantage of School Direct over the traditional university route is that you will know which school(s) you will be placed at and will have visited the main/first placement school as part of the selection process. You will have chosen them and they will have chosen you!
When you start your school placements you will observe departmental and other colleagues, then undertake supernumerary teaching and class support until you are ready to progress to teaching your own classes.
If you are on placement at Southfields Academy itself you will have the opportunity to join our General Professional Studies sessions at the Teaching School. Here you consolidate your learning in a supportive and confidential environment.
You will have access to a Subject Mentor within your placement school, who will provide subject-specific advice and meet with you regularly to plan your training and give you feedback. Your mentor will also provide progress reports to the university.
You will also have access to the Teaching School team, which is always on hand to answer queries, follow your progress, liaise with your mentor and tackle any cause for concern.
Financial support
You may also be eligible for a loan while you study – note that you'll have to apply for undergraduate student finance.
Find out about financial support if you're from outside the UK.
Kingston requires a minimum of a 2:2 honours degree in Physical Education or relevant content in a Sports Science degree.
You should have a good grade at A level (or equivalent) in PE, plus at least one other A level.
You should have GCSEs in English Language, Mathematics and Science at grade C/5 or above.
For full details see the Kingston webpage
Personal qualities
You should be passionate about your subject, a creative thinker and a confident communicator. You need adaptability, a willingness to learn and the ability to work collaboratively with fellow trainees and school colleagues.
You should show commitment to working with young people of all skills and abilities and a professional attitude. You should have some knowledge of current educational issues.
For full details see
[Kingston webpage]https://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/secondary-teaching-qts-pgce)
Other requirements
You must be able to show a good understanding of sport and exercise issues.
About the training provider
Southfields Academy Teaching School SCITT has a history of employment-based teacher training going back to 2000. In July 2011 we were awarded National Teaching School status and were one of the Teaching Schools to pilot the School Direct route. We have the advantage of being both an accredited ITT Provider and a Lead School, so training is genuinely school-led. Trainees are immersed in school life and supported by experienced teaching and training practitioners.
We currently offer:
A School Direct Salaried programme leading to QTS;
A School Direct Tuition Fee programme, with our university partners, leading to a PGCE and QTS;
Placements for university PGCE trainees.
In addition to Southfields Academy itself, we have a partnership of schools in SW London including: St John Bosco College, Richmond Park Academy, Ashcroft Technology Academy, Linden Lodge School and Hampton High School.
You will receive subject training and teaching opportunities at your employing school or placement school. You will meet a range of other trainee teachers in our mixed cohort and you will gain experience with a diverse mix of students over your two school experiences.
We are a smaller Provider, with a friendly, experienced team able to provide you with a high level of personalised support. Each year our trainees leave us as good or outstanding trainees teachers, fully prepared to teach in the real world. You can read testimonials on our website
We are conveniently located in SW London and easily accessible by underground, rail and buses.
Training with disabilities and other needs
All schools have policies on Accessibility, Disability and Equal Opportunities which comply with the Equality Act 2010 and other relevant legislation, and apply to trainee teachers as well as other staff and pupils.
If you have mobility issues, there are lifts at Southfields Tube station and Earlsfield rail station and the 156 bus from Wimbledon-Clapham Junction stops right outside Southfields Academy. Car park spaces can be arranged for disabled trainees. The Academy has lifts and level-access routes within the building.
If you are deaf or hearing-impaired, reasonable adjustments can be made. Southfields Academy has a specialist Hearing Support Centre for deaf students so the technology is state-of-the-art and includes touch screen computers, iPads, video cameras and interactive touch screen boards in teaching rooms. Audiological equipment is also the most up-to-date, with personal FM systems (and wireless microphones) available for all. We have previously had trainees who use a sign-language interpreter. If you have a learning difficulty we will help you to access the training. All resources can be adjusted e.g. for colour and size of print. We have previously supported trainees with dyslexia.
Please feel free to discuss any concerns you have about the facilities and physical environment, either at Southfields Academy or our partner schools.

For someone who lives in a culture that is obsessed with body image and the related activities that is required to maintain a healthy size and weight, I find it fascinating that walking has had such little play time in the various media with regard to obesity and now, famine.
Where I live, walking is an activity for those of us who can't run. So we clip a pedometer onto our belts and waist bands and hope to get 10,000 steps a day to burn off the calories that we couldn't otherwise, because we've got bad knees and bad hearts, don't have the facilities for a shower at our workplace and prefer not to arrive at work all sweaty and disheveled after a run.
So we walk. Sometimes, especially during the weekends, we discover the amazing trails that have vistas and views if we get out into the forests and parks that are bountiful in our backyard.
The intoxication of cities laid out far into the horizon alongside the sea and the mountains are stuff of postcards and worth every drop of sweat on arrival at the top of Grouse Mountain. It's easy to swear that no one will ever deceive you as to the beauty of this great nation.
Walking, where I live, allows for time to think, time to dream, to watch the dragon boat exercises and the leisure boats share the waterfront under the bridge. Walking burns calories without that much effort and affords the walker all gain without much pain. Walking rocks, until you can't; or until you must walk past the horizon or continue to bury your children in the sand.
After looking at the pictures that continue to stream in from eastern Africa, I'm struck by the fact that none of this seems new. It feels as if someone is replaying the same footage from the time I was a teenager living in Uganda and reading about the hunger in Ethiopia.
The faces are the same – mostly thin-faced, silent, Black African women, emaciated and miserable; the reporters are generally healthy looking white women and sometimes men, earnest in their explanations and close-ups of naked babies hanging from weighing scales that resemble the ones that we ignore at the vegetable section of the supermarket.
The Ethiopian women of the famine of the eighties wore the same colourful cloths, swaddling their bodies loosely and sometimes their faces as well.
I don't recall ever hearing an interview with any of the victims whose pictures have come to represent that time. I still haven't heard a whole direct account, or even the sound of any of the Somali famine victims, not even through a translator – only snippets; one sentence, sometimes two.
Is it possible that the lens will not allow for their voices to be heard much longer than that – that they can, or should only be seen?
It seems that this famine, as it was in the eighties, can only be transmitted through the voice and the lens of the reporters, not the people whose lives are the most affected by this devastation. Their stories, like the imposed limitations on their lives, are sieved through the western media and claimed by foreigners, all vying for the most heart wrenching report in order to garner as much attention – and in the end as much money as possible, from the people who live across the ocean.
I wonder what has changed since I was a girl in the eighties, cramming the lyrics to Michael Jackson's We Are the World. In those days, we were the world.
We sang along with Michael Jackson, naive, but still hoping all the while, that singing that song at the top of our lungs, and swaying with our arms around each other, was sufficient. We hoped that at some point, the hunger would end, and life would go back to normal. But that story eventually faded from the headlines and we assumed that the awareness campaigns by the Western superstars were successful.
Before my time, it was the Biafran war in eastern Nigeria that first emerged in western consciousness, through the efforts of the superstars of that time. The famine and suffering from that war faded from the headlines, and with that – until Chimamanda Adichie's Half of Yellow Sun – from contemporary knowledge as well.
Same with the famine from the eighties that was my introduction to the suffering of people abroad – and the potential of others to rise to the occasion.
After the headlines receded, we forgot and stopped thinking about what could have given rise to that situation and how we could avoid it all together.
As a grown woman, I read accounts of funds meant for famine victims being swindled and note with some dismay, though not shock, about just how much of the funds that were raised for catastrophes – like the 2010 earthquake in Haiti – still remain in the West, waiting, waiting for who knows what.
The images of the people who need that money languish in front of TV cameras, pleading, through the voices of healthy-looking, earnest white reporters, that more and more of our money is needed over there in perpetuity.
The pictures of the children beam from those places in the world where governments watch while people starve, and flies land unrelentingly on the tear streaked faces and dried snot of the toddlers who are poster faces of large corporations and staple television viewing on Saturday morning.
There was no need for this famine, if it only existed to replenish pictures of Africans starving to death. We've seen this before.
Today, along with the endless tweets from over there, sending links with pictures and more accounts of the sheer size of the word's biggest catastrophe that promises to be five-fold by Christmas, I'm inundated, but I keep searching for a first-hand account of the people who're starving.
There's a second-hand account of a woman who had to choose between leaving her three year-old child to die in the desert on the way to Dadaab, or risking all their lives if she had to carry that child, along with another – as time without food and water lessened their possibilities of arriving at the camp alive.
So this Sophie chose to leave her older child to die. This, through the reporter's textual account, is mind-bending in its brutality, but I expect that hers is not the only one.
There has to be more than the endless pictures of African women and their shorn-headed children waiting for hand-outs as the UN convenes for an emergency meeting to see what can be done about this situation.
There has to be voices from over there as well.
I can't hear them, and I'm blind to what I see, because they look the same as all the others have. And this is how I can sift through all those pictures, waiting for the telling that's different, for a voice I haven't heard before – one from over there.
I need to hear that story. It's no longer enough to see through foreign lens, especially if that lens can only depict the same story, like a scratched DVD – skipping at the same spot, stopping any kind of advancement.
Finally, a picture from all the tweeted links catches my attention. It's not like anything I've ever seen before.
This is a picture of mounds of earth, pocking the landscape, with an older African child, perhaps pre-teen, standing in the foreground of the fresh graves.
I've seen pictures of fallen soldiers in neat lines with white tombstones and the occasional bouquet of flowers withering in the sun. I've visited cemeteries with neatly manicured grass and tree branches hanging humbly, in supplication for the dead.
I've been to cemeteries, like the one my father lies in, with cracked tombstones and marble engravings reflecting the need for the dead to remain encased in stone until we meet again.
I've even encountered pictures of bodies of women, men and children, strewn about the forest – some of them hacked like cow carcasses at the butcher's shop with claims that those were the rebel dead – they had to be, as some media claimed.
But this picture is different. Without context, it looks like the efforts of a farmer. It looks like over-sized potato heaps. The caption alludes to the numbers that must be buried every day, as more and more people succumb to death from lack of food and water.
This comes at the heels of the reportage of yet another woman who gives birth on the way to the camp and arrives with a newborn baby at her bosom, who's been suckling at the marrow of its mother. It speaks to the speed and circularity of life and death; of life emerging in the middle of others, extinguished in minute-by-minute plays.
And here, we imagine that people should be born, live out their full lives and die in old age – we take this for granted – we think it is a right, so we gnash our teeth when people we know die before their time; but not here in Dadaab and not during this famine. These faces without voices will not betray the utter destruction of people who've lost their families on the way to Dadaab.
The pictures remain the same – blue, black and brown head-cloths with flowery patterned dresses flowing in the breeze; crowds of miserable dark-skinned people; sacks of grain, flour, sugar, and powdered-milk stamped with logos of the UN, FAO or USAID being off-loaded from trucks by muscled, un-shirted young, African men.
The reporters, as usual, stick to their light-coloured clothing, having been advised, I imagine, to wear cotton and linen and sunscreen and hats in cream and white.
I want to hear a voice from over there. I want to hear from someone who survived the famine of the eighties, if nothing, to convince me that this is not a re-play of that time, because Michael Jackson's dead and Live Aid has no new story to tell.
I want to know that it is possible that it wasn't only I expecting that after all the years of non-government in Somalia, and the propping of a government whose power is limited to the downtown capital and the airport, this was bound to happen.
I want to know that our governments, not just the limited one in Mogadishu, are responsible for the maintenance of a country at the bottom of the failed states index, year after year, and hasn't done anything about it except patrol the coast of East Africa against the pirates of the Indian Ocean.
I want to know about the walking that these people did in their own voices. I want to listen to stories of their journeys from town to town, through the borders as well as inside the borders of Kenya and Uganda.
I want to hear from them, what it means to starve to death while others die of obesity and of gorging on low-quality over processed food and have no capacity or capability to walk.
I want to know, if they know, that wheat must be thrown in the ocean every year, to maintain the price of food on the world market, while they walk from town to town, from village to village, across borders, discarding unburied children and other relatives to have their silent pictures taken before they can be taken care of.
I want to know that when we walk in solidarity, carry banners, sign petitions, wear t-shirts emblazoned with empowering slogans and raise money, we are in fact in solidarity with the men and women who are walking to Dadaab and not raising money to sit and earn interest in New York.
I want to understand why, in countries like Uganda, people can starve to death while the president buys a new jet plane at the cost of $48 million, for his security and comfort.
At the end of the day, what does it mean to walk? What does it mean to walk every day, all day, in search of food and water in your own country?
What does it mean to leave a child to die so that another can live – does that make this woman a murderer or a saviour?
Does it make her crazy, or does it mean that she lives in a crazy world where that situation continues to happen while we read about it as links on our tweets and hope to walk 10,000 steps a day to trim our waistlines?

The Javelin Strategy & Research Identity Theft Report 2013 states that 5.16% of US customers suffered from identity theft amounting to US$20.9 billion. Moreover, Tablet users had the highest probability of fraud at 9.6%. Victims of data breach had a 22.5% likelihood to becoming fraud victims. Hence, it is clear that while organizations are deploying more processes, technology and resources to prevent fraud, the fraudsters are having a ball. One thing fraudsters do, is to think outside the box. So we have to take a leaf out of their book and be innovative in our approach to prevent and detect fraud. Below are some ideas on the same. Share with me your thoughts on what you think about them.
1) Voice Print Analysis
Presently, in most of the banks, a call center agent asks a set of questions to verify the identity of customer for telephone banking. Internal employees, external fraudsters and organized crime groups can easily steal information about date of birth, place of birth, address, secret questions, and card number.
Now voice-printing software is available for authentication of voice. The system automatically verifies the caller voice with the customer's sample voice to identify fraudulent callers and protect the account.
Secondly, maintain voice records of earlier fraudsters. When system detects a fraudulent caller, it automatically checks against the previous fraudulent call records. Hence, the system will flag if a fraudster has previously conducted a telephone banking fraud. With this, it will be easy to nab the fraudster, if the police had caught him/her in a previous case.
A new voice identity technology is available that captures the tone of the voice and the type of communication. The software can monitor quality of calls and customer satisfaction from call center agents' conversations with customers. This will cut manual quality control checks significantly and result in savings in quality control department costs.
2) Track through Photographs and Location Mapping
Besides having voice-printing software, use a system similar to WhatsApp to identify of customers. WhatsApp sends text messages, images, video recordings, audio recordings, and the location. If banks invest in a similar application and allow customers to download the application on their mobile phones and tablets, the number of telephone and internet frauds will reduce.
If a fraudulent caller is flagged, then the call center agent can request the customer to send a selfie or video. If it is the wrong person, usually the caller will cut the conversation and drop the attempt to commit a fraud.
If the caller is able to circumvent this control, the application will also track the location. Applications track the frequent places a customer visits or calls from. If the caller is from an unusual place, then s/he can be tracked immediately. For example, if a British customer is tracked to a place in India, the call centre agent can ask the caller to verify their location.
3. Track Spending Behavior
Sometimes high value fraudulent payments are processed resulting in huge losses. A study done by Vivek K. Singh*, Laura Freeman*, Bruno Lepri, Alex (Sandy) Pentland for "Classifying Spending Behaviour using Socio-Mobile Data" determined the spending behavior of customers from the social interaction patterns on mobile phones. For example, it showed that more social couple and couples with diverse business interests tend to spend more.
Using big data, insights on spending behavior of customers can be analysed based on personality traits. Tracking social patterns and payment patterns can flag out anomalies when the payment is not in line with the spending pattern. Moreover, a location map can identify the location of beneficiaries of previous payments . Hence, fraudulent payments can be identified at the time of processing itself.
Another advantage from this technology can be for processing retail loan applications. If prospective customers are willing to give the data of mobile phone transactions, then at the time of processing the application itself, the bank can identify which customers are likely to overspend and default in future. The bank can ask for additional securities and guarantees.
Moreover, if the application is installed in the loan customer's mobile after loan disbursement, the moment s/he is about to overspend which might result in default of EMI, the bank can send the customer an alert to pay the EMI first.
4. Fraud Risk Conversations
According to psychological studies on emotional intelligence, Negative Emotional Attractor's activate defense systems and build resistance to change. On the other hand, Positive Emotional Attractors (PEA) activates parasympathetic nervous system and makes a person more conducive to listen and change behavior. An effective team has a 3:1 ratio of PEA:NEA. Another study shows that improving peer-to-peer conversation increases productivity of the team by 30 to 40%.
However, risk management reports are mainly critical hence activate NEA. Moreover, the communication, training material, and code of conduct are all geared towards creating fear and guilt. Hence, it is not surprising that attempts to educate business teams on fraud risks fail.
Fraud risk managers can build a positive interaction model using technology platform. A study conducted by Erez Shmueli_, Vivek Kumar Singh_, Bruno Lepri and Alex "Sandy" Pentland on "Sensing, Understanding, and Shaping Social Behavior" enables tracking of human behavior through big data analytics. The analytic helps in understanding the behavior, the tone of the conversation and the trust relationships between people.
Using this technology, an organization can use a social networking platform to communicate fraud risks through blogs, videos, and stories. The write-ups and stories should be from the business teams. From the comments section, the application can identify the key influencers and trust holders to bring about change. Thus, change the conversation to change the behavior.
Closing Thoughts
The days of holding a gun to rob a bank are nearly over. Fraudsters use social engineering to obtain sensitive information to conduct account takeover frauds remotely. Hence, organizations need to use socio-physics, social networks, and technology to beat the fraudsters in their own game. Being a leader in adopting the latest technology to prevent and detect frauds has an additional advantage, the fraudsters have not discovered the antidote to it. Hence, fraud risk managers have the right weapons to fight. The right tools can make a hell of a difference.

Colorado Woman Kills Family of 5: Were Seizures to Blame?
Jurors to decide whether woman ignored medical advice when she crashed her car.
June 14, 2012 -- Jurors will begin deciding this morning whether a Colorado woman ignored the medical advice of doctors not to operate a vehicle when she plowed her SUV into a pickup truck, killing a family of five.
Prosecutors say Monica Chavez, driving more than 100 miles per hour with her two kids, apparently had a seizure when she entered an intersection, went airborne and smashed into two cars on a Thornton, Colo., street Feb. 17, 2011. Randy and Crystaldawn Stollsteimer, and their kids, Sebastian, Darrian, and Cyrus, died instantly.
Prosecutors say Chavez should not have been behind the wheel because of another seizure-like episode she had in 2006. After the 2006 episode, doctors told Chavez in the emergency room that she should not drive until cleared by a neurologist, prosecutor Tiffany Score said.
She ignored the order, according to prosecutors, but defense attorneys counter that Chavez saw her own doctor who was not convinced she'd had a seizure.
"No doctor will tell you that she should not have been driving five years after something that they never called a seizure," defense attorney Megan Downing said. "She was told she was fine and that's why she was in the car that day."
Chavez suffered another seizure at a McDonalds in August 2010, according to prosecutors. Chavez's husband, George, said the 2010 incident didn't raise a red flag because he thought she just blacked out from suffering a heat stroke, according to ABC News station KMGH-TV in Denver.
Chavez is facing five counts of negligent homicide and two counts of child abuse for putting her own children in danger. It will all come down to 10 women and two men who will decide whether she is a victim of mixed medical advice and bad judgment or a criminal who deserves prison.
"I think the fact that there is such a long timeframe in between the two seizures may really cut against the prosecution," Annemarie McAvoy of Fordham University School of Law in New York said.
The Chavez case has receiving renewed national attention after Commerce Secretary John Bryson was charged with a felony hit-and-run last weekend after he says he suffered a seizure while driving. Bryson was found blacked out after hitting two cars. No one was injured.

The new Firmware version 2.32.04 brings some news for the combined use with Witty·SEM
The purpose of the test is to turn on a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the traffic light within a defined period of time. Generally, only one traffic light is used in order to make the athlete perform specific actions according to the symbol displayed. See chap. 4.4.4 of the user manual.
A new test typology derived from a well-known exercise used in the tennis world, where 4 or more
cones are positioned with a tennis ball on top, which athletes have to fetch and bring back using a bucket
placed behind them. See chap. 4.4.5 of the user manual.
Starting from the WittySEM 2.0.4. firmware version, the traffic lights can be used instead of the photocells
by placing them AFTER the traffic light that serves as a Direction Change in order to finish the test (instead of
crossing the photocell beam, bring your hand close to the traffic light). See chap. 4.4.1 of the user manual.

I just made this thread for my ideas on Anvil, ideas or clues linked to the actual clutter in the exterior.
Interior 86-88, Poor Housing.
Interior 86: is of a poor woodworker, he makes the poor exterior furniture for poor quarter. He lives close to one of the entrances, namely the end of Lighthouse Rd, next to the Imperial Navy HQ. He makes quite a dime because the furniture of many establishments gets wrecked ever so often.
Interior 87 and 88: he and interior 88 are good friends and neighbours, they fish together, dine together and gamble together, the 4 dice game, for that they invite Interior 86 as he is a but dumb and owns quite a dime from making furniture.
Interior 87 also has a riding markestall and sells their fish at the poor market on a regular basis.
The Bedroll between Int 87 and 88 is of a good friend of them, she is a skooma addict they protect and feed. Sometimes she likes to gamble with them as well.
Interior 63: Poor Inn, its more of a bunkhouse, with long-term rentals to locals that work in the city, they provide a breakfast, and allow gambling outside.
Interior 70: Poor Inn, its a hotel for the poor, with several rooms, a restaurant/bar, and terracy tables. Gambling goes on in the inside (restaurant) here and at a table in the back alley.

As I mentioned a day or two ago, the jump from xorg-server 1.5.3 to 1.6.0 on my Crux-running Thinkpad reduced my graphical system to a metaphorical pile of junk, and thus far nothing I have tried has restored my erstwhile-awesome Awesome desktop to life. Rebuilding xorg-server failed. Rebuilding the siliconmotion driver failed. Rebuilding the driver and the server failed and failed. It has been a long string of failures since Sunday morning, when I went ahead and pressed the enter key.
And I couldn't be happier.
No, I'm not kidding. You see, after I realized I was spending a rather long amount of time trying to coax X back into action, I said to myself, "Self, this is stupid. For as much work as you're putting into this twisted knot of electronic instructions, you could have built framebuffer support into your kernel, transmogrified a Pkgfile for dvtm and gotten the entire system back into the same condition as it was Saturday night, with plenty of time to spare."
I have learned the wisdom of listening to myself, so that's what I did. Twenty minutes later I had a working kernel with 16-bit framebuffer support at full 800×600. Ten minutes after that I had both dvtm and fbgrab installed on my machine, and now I have the complete system working in the same geography as I did under X, a day and a half ago.

Google+ Guru Bradley Horowitz on Products, Platforms and That Pesky Memo
While Google has struggled mightily in its early efforts to "get the social thing," it has managed to get more than a few people to try out its latest effort, Google+.
But the question of just how compelling the service will be long term remains to be seen. Bradley Horowitz, the project manager for Google+, joins the AsiaD stage to talk about where things are headed.
Peter Kafka: So what is Google+?
Bradley Horowitz: "It's more than a product. It's a project."
That means it will take longer and be bigger than a typical product.
Kafka: The view outside of Google is that it's the company's response to Facebook.
Horowitz: "There are parts of Google+ that will look very familiar" to people who have used social networks. But other parts are very different, he said.
5:03 pm: Kafka: When will regular people use it?
Horowitz, to Peter: Are you a regular person?
Kafka: No.
Horowitz: Well, we have 40 million users; we've reached beyond the early adopters.
It's open to everyone now, and that's only been the case for a couple of weeks.
Kafka: But why would you want to?
Horowitz talks about Hangouts, the group chatting feature.
5:04 pm: One of the lessons Bradley said Google has learned is that people want different levels of privacy and relations.
5:07 pm: We are just getting started, Horowitz said, adding the project is just getting started.
He quotes his boss, saying that the company has shipped the "plus."
"We have yet to ship the 'Google,'" which brings the entire company's products into the service.
Horowitz also notes that most Google services actually know relatively little about their users.
"Everything gets better when we know who our users are."
Kafka: Do people really want a different relationship with Google?
Horowitz: "I think provisionally. They have to have a good value return. They don't want to do it for the sake of Google. They want to be able to manage it."
It needs an incognito mode as well.
5:10 pm: Isn't setting up Google+ kind of a pain?
Horowitz: It was a big gamble on Google's part, he said.
"No one wakes up and says I want to segment my life into circles," Horowitz said. However, he said that the company put one of its best designers, Andy Hertzfeld (of early Mac fame), on the project.
5:11 pm: What did you do right and wrong with Buzz?
Horowitz: Buzz was in the older model of Google, its bottoms-up, let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom mode. Now the company is trying to take its best flowers and make a bouquet.
I think we are doing less throwing things at the wall.
People are aligning around fewer efforts. It's a very healthy thing for this company.
5:13 pm: Are you saying goodbye to 20 percent time, then? (The idea that Google employees can spend 20 percent of their time doing whatever they want.)
Horowitz: I think 20 percent time still exists. What does change is a higher bar for what we are going to put to market, sort of an editing function.
5:14 pm: Kafka asks, under that new model, would Google TV have even come to market?
"I can't specifically answer that," Horowitz said. "I'm not close enough to Google TV."
5:15 pm: Expect a lot of social influence on search. Some 20 different projects aimed at making search more related to who is doing the searching.
"The opportunity to bring social into search is huge," Horowitz said.
5:18 pm: About that memo — the Google+ critique that was supposed to be internal that was made public.
Horowitz: "That wasn't a great day. My heart sank when I read that."
Kafka: Because it was aired publicly or because it was right?
Horowitz: "I think the tone of the post mostly was disheartening."
There were elements of validity, he said. But there were also areas where that Google employee, who doesn't work on Google+, was in the dark, he said.
"We're moving at light speed. We've been in the market for 120 days."
That said, Google is in no rush to build its user base, Horowitz said.
5:22 pm: You are going to allow pseudonyms now. Why?
There are many reasons. "Those who have defended that use case have done so with great passion."
The company wants to open to other groups, including minors and those Google Apps customers that are the businesses actually paying Google money.
"We want them in and we'll fix that."
Brands, too, have been told to wait.
"We kicked out Nike and Coca-Cola" not because we didn't want them, but because we want to do that in the right way.
At the same time, Horowitz said, they don't want to make it too easy for bad actors.
5:25 pm: Kafka: Why did you go from Yahoo to Google?
Horowitz: I was going to become a venture capitalist.
"They (Google) sort of talked me off the ledge," Horowitz said.
Every myth you hear about Google is grounded in reality, both good and bad. Within weeks it was clear to me why they were as successful as they are.
5:27 pm: How would you fix Yahoo?
Horowitz: "Wow. I am really ill-qualified to answer that."
Kafka: You are kind of qualified.
Horowitz said he actually was talking with some other ex-Googlers and they noted that Yahoo is not actually a struggling company.
They have brand and market position. "What's missing is relevance." They need to hire good people and take some risks.
It would be a shame if the strategy is just milking the current audience, he said.
"They can do a lot more than that, and I hope they do."
5:29 pm: Q and A. What about Google+ as a platform?
Horowitz: We have thought about platform from the inception. It's not an afterthought. This has been part of the strategy from Day One.
We don't want platform to be the Wild West, and we want to keep the stream useful. "We don't want to repeat the sins of previous generations."
I don't think it means hand-curation and approval processes.
"We are getting enough signal within the system that things can self-correct."
Another audience question. Sure, but where is the Google API? When are we going to see it actually be a platform?
Horowitz: I love the fact that 120 days after launch there are demands that we build a platform. "That's a champagne problem."
Over time, he said, there will be more opportunity. "It's not far off."
There's a lot on the agenda, including letting in Google Apps customers, minors and those using pseudonyms in addition to opening it up more to developers. All are on the agenda, he said.
Horowitz said that is part of why the company is focusing more.
"We would rather do fewer things well than tend to a thousand flowers with equal attention," he said.
5:36 pm: Google is still more open than most companies when it comes to empowering workers' creativity. "I still think there is a tremendous amount of Google culture that will never change."
5:37 pm: Kafka: Is this all Larry's influence?
My experience is that Larry is a consummate product-oriented leader. "It's thrilling. It feels like the company is coordinated in a way that I have never seen. I could not be more impressed with Larry as CEO. I didn't expect this level of change in the company culture."
So who is using Google+?
Horowitz said they aren't going into detail, but there are 41 supported languages. "There's a higher concentration in the U.S." Trying to get local content, including a popular Hong Kong pop singer.

Dina Wohlhendler isn't a very common name. So when the Brooklyn resident saw her name on another shopper's credit card at a Manhattan Best Buy, she chased the woman while shouting for help. Chase had already alerted Wohlhendler about an unauthorized purchase at Urban Outfitters, which led her to check the nearby electronics store. Surveillance tapes showed the suspect pickpocketed Wohlhendler's credit card before a fast, fraudulent shopping spree.
Cases like Wohlhendler's remain rare, according to author and security expert Chris McGoey. "Some people don't even know for a while that their credit card has been stolen," McGoey tells CardRatings.com. Despite banks' best efforts, McGoey says that credit card fraud represents one of today's biggest consumer threats. Here are six things you should be doing to protect your financial identity.
1. Don't let others use your card
"People are highly likely to lend credit cards out to family members, friends, or assistants to run errands and such," McGoey says. While convenient, this practice means you're not always in control of your card's security. With skimming rings operating at retailers and restaurants, you may not know enough about your own card's activity to help investigators track down thieves. Instead, ask your bank to issue additional cards with their own spending limits, embossed cardholder names, and security features.
2. Always keep your card with you
Boca Raton, Florida detectives posted a YouTube video of suspects who used credit cards found in a stolen car's glove compartment to buy $311 in goods at a pharmacy. California detectives recently reported five cases in a single day that involved credit cards swiped from cars parked at tourist areas near Half Moon Bay. To avoid hassle after a smash-and-grab, McGoey says, keep credit cards with you at all times.
3. Split your expenses across multiple credit cards
You can help your bank spot phony charges faster by using a different card for each area of your life. Use one card for in-person purchases, another for online purchases. That way, if a restaurant skimmer clones your dining card and tries to use it for airline tickets online, your credit card company may have an easier time identifying the fraudulent activity. Carry just your in-person card and a backup credit card, so you have fewer calls to make if thieves snatch your wallet.
4. Verify the source of any inbound call from your bank
Criminals sometimes pose as bank officials or even police investigators to trick you into giving up crucial account information over the phone. Capital One spokeswoman Sukhi Sahni says consumers shouldn't feel pressured into giving up their identities to a mystery caller. "When we notice fraudulent activity on an account we contact the customer right away to verify if they made the transactions," Sahni says. "During the course of any such conversation our customer service associates can provide sufficient identifying information to alleviate any customer concerns."
Legitimate investigators already have your information, and they won't ask for details like your account number or your PIN. If you're worried, Sahni says, hang up and dial the number of the back of your credit card. Discover spokeswoman Katie Henry describes a similar policy. "Customer service and security ensure the call makes its way back to a prevention agent," Henry says. "Not necessarily the original calling agent, but one who can complete the task initiated with the outbound call."
5. Review your statements and credit reports
A recent J.D. Power consumer survey found that about half of American credit card fraud victims spotted false charges on their statements before their lenders could get involved. Many banks now offer free text alerts that can zap transaction details to your wireless phone, almost in real time. Contact your bank immediately if you don't recognize a charge. Also, make it a point to check your credit report to ensure nobody else has opened a fraudulent account in your name.
6. Keep a secure, master list of your accounts and contacts
"Know how many credit cards you have," McGoey says. "Make copies of the front and back of each credit card, and keep those documents somewhere safe in case you need to file a claim." Along with those documents, McGoey recommends storing information about who to call and what steps to take when a credit card goes missing or gets compromised.
When you have that information handy, banks can replace your cards quickly. "We can get a card to a Cardmember the next day if it is ordered before 3:30PM and not before the weekend," says Discover's Henry. "Under emergency or urgent situations we can get our customer a card within 24 hours," says Capital One's Sahni. Otherwise, most banks can mail replacement cards within about a week.
